This movie is excellent. The story is incredibly griping, even more so the cast's performance and that's what makes it hard to watch. Prisoners is the kind of movie that keep stabbing your heart at every plot twist yet you just can't. Stop. Watching.
Hugh Jackman played Keller Dover, a hard-working, Crazy-Prepared of a husband and father of a middle-class family. On Thanksgiving Day, his daughter was kidnapped and Detective Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) was put on the case. Days passed by without any progress however, and Keller got disillusioned. When the main suspect, Alex Jones, was set free for lack of evidence, Keller went to the extreme.
What followed was a gut-wrenching emotional drama and breath-taking mystery uncovering. Keller went increasingly immoral in his quest to get his daughter back and Loki slowly turned depressed as the case kept getting more confusing the more he made a progress. It's painful to watch, seeing how love and devotion to the job can change people for the worse. It's sad seeing how screwed up everyone and everything became. It's horrifying when things finally unraveled. And that fucking ending. God...
This movie has completely torn me apart. The direction, cinematography, and sounds maxed up the angst, the thrill, and the fear of losing a beloved one. Prisoners is a must watch if you want to blow your heart once in a while.
